News of the World Bingo advert

You couldn't miss this advert even if you wanted to; it wasn't tucked away on one of the pages as many adverts for online bingo are in a lot of newspapers. I was lucky enough to get two, one of which fell into my lap, the other I had to remove as it was blocking the article on Peaches Geldof and her drugs video!

It's quite an impressive advert really, it tells you pretty much everything available on the site and it's really colourful. Obviously being an advert they don't have the space to go into detail about chat games, deposit bonuses (other than the "deposit £10 and get £10 free offer) - oh, that would be because that is the only deposit bonus available - silly me.

They do however make it clear that the free play money is not available for withdrawal and responsibly show the web address for Gamble Aware.

On the reverse of the advert are full instructions of how to receive all the news direct to your mobile with simple step by step instructions. They offer you the chance to get all the Sunday exclusives and headlines on your mobile phone from 10pm on Saturday night - is anyone that eager to read it then? I thought the whole point of a Sunday was flicking through the paper whilst chilling in your pyjamas!

Anyway, here is the advert in all its glory, what do you think of it? Is it not just a waste of paper? How many trees had to be cut down to insert one into every paper distributed this Sunday? I took a quick look on Google and found that the average distribution of the News of The World was 3445459 per week in October 2006!
